Great space to host a party! We attended a friend's party, and there was so much space and a nice area for eating as well. We will definitely be back!

★★★★Trust Elizabeth

Love the splash pad and the covered tables, wish there was a dog area, like a fenced in area. Maybe a bigger swing set, there be alot of kids up there.

★★★Danielle Wilson

Fun water park area for kids. Suggest parents to go with kids, a lot of teenager fights at times. Often it's safe, more so while adults are there. Kept clean.

★★★★Keyco Luv Bey

A food place to take the kiddies for a quickie cool off! No life jackets & clunky gear needed to have a good time!

Was fine after the management had to remove a group that had not reserved the area that they were in. They were a little upset. Management had not posted the pavilion rentals. The kids really enjoyed the splash pad and play area. It was also clean.
